Christian Man Arrested After Being Caught With AK-47 In A Park, No Wait

A 26-year-old man is being held on $1 million cash bond on gun charges after he was found leaving a city park Sept. 8 with an AK-47.

Houssein Zorkot was arraigned Tuesday before 19th District Judge Mark Somers on two felony charges in the incident at Hemlock Park.

Dearborn police responded to a call that there was a man in the park carrying a gun. Police stopped Zorkot's sport utility vehicle as he was leaving the park. He was wearing dark clothes that could camouflage him at night.

I wonder what he was up to:

The man also had visited Lebanon within the past month, police said.

Bond was set at the unusually high rate because it was unclear whether he was dangerous, Mayor John "Jack" O'Reilly said. The gun was purchased the night before in a nearby suburban community, O'Reilly said.

It was unclear whether he was dangerous? What could be dangerous about a 26 year old Lebanese man walking around a park with a loaded AK-47?

Then, get this:

O'Reilly said although the man had recently visited Lebanon, he was cautious to indicate there was a larger terrorism issue brewing so close to the Sept. 11 anniversary.

We should be cautious in pointing out probable terror attacks? To hell with that. We should be cautious of these attacks, not of reporting them.
